STATA README for REPLICATING PAPER FIGURES, NOVEMBER 2023

Do-files run using Stata 18.0.	

	
INSTRUCTIONS:
===============================================================
(A) Put the enclosed PAPER folder (containing DATA/cleandta, do, log sub-folders) in the directory of your choice.  This will be your top directory (topdir).

The cleandta folder contains the datasets you will need to reproduce results in the paper; the do folder contains do-files to produce figures reported in the manuscript; logfiles and figures can be saved in the log folder.


(B) For each do-file that you wish to run:

Open the do-file and define the top directory for the global.  
- EXAMPLE: global topdir C:/Users/watson.584/Dropbox

Then, for each figure/plot/table of the do-file you wish to run, set the relevant local to 1.  

For example, if you wish to reproduce Figure 3, you would set its local from zero to one:
******************************************************************************
* Table of contents: Change local to 1 to produce the desired figure
******************************************************************************

local Figure3	 					1
local Figure4a4c 					0  
local Figure4b 						0 




(E) Run the do-file.
